Article Abstract
Background And Objective: This study provides a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model-based analysis of the potential drug-drug interaction (DDI) between cyclosporin A (CsA), a breast cancer resistance protein transporter (BCRP) inhibitor, and methotrexate (MTX), a putative BCRP substrate.
Methods: PBPK models for CsA and MTX were built using open-source tools and published data for both model building and for model verification and validation. The MTX and CsA PBPK models were evaluated for their application in simulating BCRP-related DDIs. A qualification of an introduced empirical uniform in vitro scaling factor of K values for transporter inhibition by CsA was conducted by using a previously developed model of rosuvastatin (sensitive index BCRP substrate), and assessing if corresponding DDI ratios were well captured.
Results: Within the simulated DDI scenarios for MTX in the presence of CsA, the developed models could capture the observed changes in PK parameters as changes in the area under the curve ratios (area under the curve during DDI/area under the curve control) of 1.30 versus 1.31 observed and the DDI peak plasma concentration ratios (peak plasma concentration during DDI/peak plasma concentration control) of 1.07 versus 1.28 observed. The originally reported in vitro K values of CsA were scaled with the uniform qualified scaling factor for their use in the in vivo DDI simulations to correct for the low intracellular unbound fraction of the CsA effector concentration. The resulting predicted versus observed ratios of peak plasma concentration and area under the curve DDI ratios with MTX were 0.82 and 0.99, respectively, indicating adequate model accuracy and choice of a scaling factor to capture the observed DDI.
Conclusions: All models have been comprehensively documented and made publicly available as tools to support the drug development and clinical research community and further community-driven model development.

High-density lipoprotein (HDL) oxylipins regulate inflammation, and acute systemic inflammation can precipitate cognitive impairment. Females have more HDL and stronger immune responses than males, yet higher dementia risk. Little is known about sex differences in oxylipin responses to inflammatory stimuli and potential crosstalk between acute systemic inflammation and central oxylipin signaling in either sex.

We report a case of a very rare association of adrenal adenoma, unilateral adrenal hyperplasia, and bilateral renal artery stenosis. A 61-year-old man with a remarkable history of two severe strokes was admitted to the Nephrology department with hypertension associated with severe hypokalemia and metabolic alkalosis. Doppler of renal arteries was not conclusive, so contrast-enhanced scanning was done revealing a left adrenal adenoma, right adrenal hyperplasia, and bilateral moderate renal artery stenosis.

In euryhaline teleosts, the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) in seawater (SW)-type chloride cells facilitates apical Cl secretion for SW adaptation, while alternative Cl excretion pathways remain understudied. This study investigates the role of the calcium-activated chloride channel, Anoctamin 1 (ANO1), in the gills of the euryhaline Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes) under hyperosmolality and cortisol (CORT) influence. Acclimation to artificial SW, NaCl, mannitol, or glucose significantly upregulated ANO1 and CFTR mRNA expression in gills, unlike urea treatment.

Background: Inflammatory stress at the maternal-fetal interface plays an important role in the occurrence and development of preeclampsia(PE) caused by different etiologies. Many pathological neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) at the maternal-fetal interface are believed to be among the main pathogenic factors leading to preeclampsia and the worsening of its symptoms. However, the underlying mechanism is largely unclear.
